YES! Recommends: Global Oneness Project

YES! recommends the Global Oneness Project for their inspiring and richly produced resources that explore how the radically simple notion of interconnectedness can be lived in our increasingly complex world.

Resilience is that steely strength, that net that catches us, those arms that support us when our world falls apart. It is that will or spirit that encourages us to carry on.

From the unfazed to the deeply concerned, how do we help build resilience in our students? One way is to show them that they are not alone.

YES! recommends the Global Oneness Project for their inspiring and richly produced resources that explore how the radically simple notion of interconnectedness can be lived in our increasingly complex world. Through Global Oneness lesson plans, written stories, and film, your students will meet people from all over the globe—Tibetan nuns, Ecuadorian shamans, Ethiopian aid workers—and explore themes, such as real nourishment and having more with less. By showing the diverse ways oneness is expressed, your students will be inspired to create solutions to their own and their community’s challenges.

We are thrilled to be one of the first organizations to share Global Oneness Project’s education resources, including two free DVDs of its greatest film shorts.

When we start to wonder what we can offer life, rather than focusing on what we need to get from it, we begin working with the forces that are already working for the whole. We begin living oneness.

Special note on free DVDs:

Global Oneness Project theme pages are a feast of everything you wanted to know about a certain something, delivered on a silver platter. These “something’s” are subjects worthy of discussion, such as our relationship to the land, material greed, our diets, and expressions of generosity. Anchored by short essays, these pages burst with enticing extras of photography, video, quotes and related articles.

Film Library DVDs are free and include question and action guides. Engage your community! Global Oneness has put together a selection of its short films on two DVDs and will send one to you for free anywhere in the world if you agree to gather 10 or more people for your film screening.
